CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF900

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge and the last one for this year! The Thursday Challenge Design Team is taking Christmas off to spend time with our loved ones, so see you back here on January 1st!

Berry Burst and Shy Shamrock were brushed onto the background using the Snowy Delights masks and Blending Brushes, then the little snowflakes were stamped in Shy Shamrock (stamped off). The background was then matted on Berry Burst and adhered to the card base.

A Shy Shamrock snowflake was die cut and adhered, and matching Flat Pearls were added. Lastly, the greeting was stamped in Berry Burst, die cut with a Textured Notes die, and popped up. The inside was stamped with Berry Burst and Shy Shamrock as well.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Christmas Flowers

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is Christmas Flowers, and you know they have to include poinsettias, right? The Christmas Greenery stamp set has a lovely swag that includes a poinsettia, so that's the flower du jour!

On a Lost Lagoon card base I adhered a Silent Snowfall Specialty DSP background for the floral image. I stamped and colored the image, cut it out, and adhered it (not popped up) before adding the greeting.

The greeting was cut from Lost Lagoon and a gold foil sheet. I adhered the gold first, and the Lost Lagoon slightly offset. The Cherry Cobbler Faceted Snowflakes added a little more shine.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF899

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a sketch:

The card for this week's challenge doesn't have any stamping on the front! I used the Textured Stripes Mix & Match Cards and Envelopes as a base, and added pieces from the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP.

The diagonal background started with a piece of the DSP (4" x 6") cut diagonally from opposite corners. The two side pieces were used on the card. Then I cut the candy cane image from the same DSP pack and mounted it on Basic White, and popped it up on Garden Green, then popped up again on the card.

All it needed was a greeting, which came from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. Note: The Basic White, DSP, and ephemera packs are currently out of stock, and due to be back in stock the week of Dec. 15.

SURPRISE! Free shipping, again!

Today through Friday (Dec 10-12), your order ships FREE if the product total is $75 or more! And, you will qualify for the product of the month for only $5.00. This month, it's a 12" x 12" pack of DSP called True Blue Florals, which includes 2 each of six double-sided patterns:

When your cart reaches the minimum, a window will pop up and ask if you want to add it to your cart. Hint: You do! It's only available one to a customer, no matter how many orders you place in a month, and supplies are limited, so when it's gone, it won't be re-ordered by Stampin' Up!

Today's card is the one I made for our son, whose birthday was earlier this month. It used the Addressed to You stamp set from the upcoming new catalog, and the Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder which will be in the Online Exclusives starting next month, too.
